KNE316; Design of Column and Footing
Part A – Column Design:
– Design the second column under the beam designed in Project 2,
– Assume 40 mm cover for corrosion and fire resistance,
– Determine the ultimate axial loads (kN) either by using the reactions from the beam or by using
the tributary area method,
– Determine whether the column is slender or short (the column is in a braced frame),
– Determine the bending moment applied on the column (no moment magnifier is required, i.e
δ=1 since the column is braced),
– Determine the longitudinal reinforcement using one of the charts given in Appendix C of the
“Cross-Section Strength of Columns” attached on MyLO (mark the loads on the chart and
included it in your assignment),
– Determine the transverse reinforcement,
– Draw one full typical elevation showing the main and transverse reinforcement of the column
and splicing of reinforcement with columns above and below.
– Draw 2 cross sections, one at mid-height and one at the lower section of the column (where it
splices with the column under.
